Rocket was a product of the 80s. Ted Madden thought he was a product of the 70s. He wore vintage Clapton tour T-shirts in a steady rotation and decorated his room with album covers.
One time during the summer we were playing some kind of celebrity drinking game where you wrote down famous names and put them in a jar. I don't recall the rules, but most people put in well known musicians and actors. Ted loaded the jar with Joe Walsh, Randy Bachtman, and other, more obscure classic rock musicians.
At one point I looked at the paper and asked "Who is Laurie McKenzie?"
Ted responded, astonished by my ignorance, "He's the drummer for The Guess Who !!!"
As you can imagine our party bands were not up to Ted's standards. One time at AGR, the band took the stage and started whaling down some alternative rock. (Yeah, Mitch I got some student alt-rock band.) Ted proceeded to heckle them by repeatedly screaming "Play some muthafuckin rock and roll !!!"
